The Big Squeeze accordion contest is for non-professional Texas musicians, 21 years of age or younger.  You may have seen the Big Squeeze film about the contest on PBS, or seen and heard the many stories on the news and in the papers statewide about the amazing young contestants these past three years.  This year the contest goes on the road to meet the talent.  Auditions will be held throughout Texas and finalists will perform at Texas Folklife's highly acclaimed "Accordion Kings & Queens" festival at Houston Miller Outdoor Theatre on June 5th, 2010 where the "Big Squeeze" winner will be selected.  Please contact Texas Folklife in advance at 512-441-9255 or info@texasfolklife.org to reserve an audition time.
